On Tuesday, coach Jonathan Gannon said that Jacoby Brissett will remain as the starting quarterback of the Arizona Cardinals in Week 10. This decision came after he helped the team to an impressive 27-17 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Monday.

"As relates to the quarterbacks in Seattle, Jacoby will start," Gannon said. "And Kyler will keep working on his health bucket. I do like what the offense is doing right now, we've operated well and we'll go from there."

Fans on social media shared their reactions to Jacoby Brissett staying as the Cardinals QB1. They also trolled Kyler Murray and how he might have potentially lost his job to his competitor.

"The Kyler Murray era is over," one fan commented. "Kyler getting more free time to play Video Games is like an early Christmas Gift from the Cardinals, when you really think about it," another fan said. "This is no longer a 'soft benching' for Kyler ... He is done in AZ," this fan wrote. "They benched Kyler Murray. Holy s**t," another fan stated. "It's the right decision Kyler is a bust," one fan said. "Good. Kyler Murray should never get a chance to be a starter with the Cardinals ever again," this fan commented.

Murray has been out of action since suffering an injury in Week 5 against the Colts. Jacoby Brissett was named as his replacement after the Cardinals brought him to the team as a backup on the depth chart in March.

The veteran quarterback lost the first two games he started against the Colts and the Packers. However, he redeemed himself during Monday's victory over the Dallas Cowboys, ending the team's five-game losing streak.

Against Brian Schottenheimer's team, Brissett completed 21 of 31 passes for 261 yards and scored three total touchdowns.

Retired Super Bowl champion Drew Brees extends his support to Jacoby Brissett in staying as the Cardinals starting quarterback

On Tuesday's episode of ESPN's "First Take", ex-Saints star Drew Brees said that the Cardinals should continue with Brissett as their starting quarterback.

"Is Kyler Murray your franchise quarterback? I mean, has he ever been your franchise quarterback? Everything that I've heard coming out of Carolina is, you got mixed emotions all over the place," Brees said. "You never had a moment when somebody's stepped in and actually given the team some hope. And now you have that with Jacoby Brissett. A veteran guy who has a ton of maturity. ... It's hard to put numbers or metrics to that other than just you know what you're watching. I don't think you can take Jacoby Brissett off the field right now. They've played their best football over the last couple of weeks. They're trending up. ... I think you have to roll with Jacoby Brissett at this point.
